asymmetry: not right?

[jonsie150]

i've mentioned this a couple times before on the forum, but, basically, i was a good minoxidil responder who's found that he's losing in other areas. now im fighting the uphill battle again.

anyway, i've just noticed something strange: my left temple area is taking a bigger hit than my right. isn't asymmetry...unnatural? i assume maybe it's something i'm doing, perhaps unconsciously applying larger dosages to one side? any one have thoughts on it?

My right temple seems to bald faster then my left. i think its normal

I don't think recession has to be symmetrical. My left temple started thinning, then six months later my right temple joined in.

I have seen a number of people who are losing their hair at the temples have more hair loss on one side versus the other. I think it is normal to experience hair loss at the temples at different rates.

I think the temple that has less hair loss is gradually going to catch up to the one that has lost more hair.

its normal because your follicles are positioned in spiral.
